Holding grudges and dwelling on the past about what can't be changed. It will eat you up inside.

Staying in a job you hate.

Worrying about what others think of you.

Staying inside all day. Go out, explore, even if it's just to breathe in the fresh air. 🌻

Keeping someone else happy but sacrificing your own happiness.

Life is too short for....

Wearing matching socks. Who cares 🤷‍♀️
We regularly wear odd socks in this house simply because who has the time to pair socks 😂

Saving things for special occasions … wear that beautiful dress, eat off the best crockery, spritz yourself in your favourite perfume, open that vintage bottle of wine.

Ironing!
My mum irons literally everything! Tea towels, pants, duster, you name it. I left home thinking I had to do this too, would spend ages ironing baby vests, baby grows, bedding etc. Until I got to child 3 and though fuck this, I ain't got time for this shit. I now only iron school shirts when they need it and have more time for me 🙂

Putting up with toxic relationships - pull the plug!

Clutter ... get rid of it - the feeling of a lovely, clear, space is unbeatable.

Watching bad TV shows or movies ... don't waste another minute hoping it will improve.

Anything that's surplus to your life's requirements.

I'll start with old Slippers.
Found a new pair hanging around, slid my tired old feet in them and felt like I was walking on a new mattress. I'm going to find all my old Slippers and throw out any that have lost their bounce 😁

Cleaning!
Honestly, if you can afford it I would recommend getting a cleaner. Even every once in a while get someone in to do a deep clean.

Bad mattresses

You spend around 1/3rd of your life in bed. Don't buy a cheap mattress it's a false economy.

Fake Vanilla

It's hugely expensive, but real vanilla is lovely. I'd rather not have it than have synthetic vanilla.

Cheap chocolate
All Cadbury stuff is loaded with more sugar and vegetable oils as it's cheaper. Waxy and very sweet. A creme egg isn't really that nice anymore with all this crap.

Life is too short for - agreeing to plans/going places you don't want to. Just say no!

Bad books. I used to suffer through them for the sake of completion. Not anymore. There are too many good books out there waiting to be read.

I so agree with the clutter. I have halved my possessions and it is so freeing. Also takes less time cleaning.

Life's too short for washing dishes, crockery, pans by hand. I put almost everything through the dishwasher. If an oven tray or pot is particularly grubby and greasy I'll give it a quick scrub with the dishbrush then put it through the dishwasher to finish it off. The only things I wash by hand are wine glasses, or larger items like my huge wok if the dishwasher is full. I know putting on the dishwasher every day is probably pushing up my lecky bill but I don't mind. I hate the alternative of having to wash everything by hand and the dirty dishes building up, I did it for years pre dishwasher and hated the mess

Decanting pasta, cereal etc into separate containers.

I hate ironing too. Most of my clothes don't need to be ironed apart from the odd viscose dress. I'd never have the patience to iron towels or bedsheets, my mother does iron those but she says she enjoys ironing...

Arguments. Feel free to have a different opinion, then move on. No use dwelling on it or trying to change anyone.
